Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

How were the red speakers? The ones with the DQ25 tweeter and TB woofers.

That's the TB 25-1719, not the DQ25, and those are Rory's 'Firestorms' in their final version.

They're nice.

This is Dan's unreal-looking and great sounding build. A Lexan waveguide that Dave P. has been working on looks super cool. TC sounds woofer and BG mid....Hope I caught those correctly.

Wow, I want those.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I had a great time as usual. BIG thanks to Wolf for setting up and hosting this event, and to Rory and Brian for their large efforts in helping Wolf run the show. Also thanks to the sponsors; I had to leave before door prizes were drawn, unfortunately. Special thanks to Shawn for his nice personal comments after I played the Cavatinas Saturday, as well as Brian's opinion on their sound Friday night. Lots of good and great sounding speakers. My favorite was Dan Neubecker's latest creation; drop-dead gorgeous looks with a big and effortless sound.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

It was a great event. I sold a few things, bought more, won a PAIR of the new 4ohm lab12's!!! Mike and Eric it was great meeting you guys for the first time. And as always seeing the now so many familiar faces. I got to really solidify some contacts this year. Don't think I will try to do so many projects next time as I just ran myself ragged trying to do to much in a short amount of time.

I'll give my final thoughts on the designs in a couple of days, but will say that I was very impressed with wolf's trichotomy and stance (once he was able to get them repaired) and Jeffs 2way with the SB drivers and TP cross. I'm not sure that I could actaully hear a difference because of the crossover, but the overall sound and presence of them was stunning.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I'm sitting in the Ft Wayne airport waiting for my flight kind of sad the show is in the past. Thanks to all who worked to make this show a success: Ben, Matt, Rory, and Brian. Thanks for entertaining my questions as well. It ws great to meet so many folks too: Chuck (isaeagle), Dave P, Dan P, Jeff B, JFallow, and many others. This forum has grown into a great, friendly, helpful, warm, etc. community. It's really great to be a part of such a great group that shares an interest in this hobby. Thanks again to all who were a part of this weekend. One of the highlights of the year for me!

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

This was my third DIY event. Still consider myself a speaker designing newb and attending these shows reinforces that...LOL. Joking aside, I always do try to be of some sort of help.....it's my way of "paying it forward" for all the valuable info I have gathered from you guys. This year was a bit difficult for me, to be honest. The slow wifi at the hotel made our video streaming effort challenging, but given the amount of virtual attendees, I think it was an overwhelming success.

In two show days, we had 322 visitors who checked in for some amount of time to the video stream. We had up to 30 people at one time interacting with us over the web and also chatting....it was....well...awesome. :D I understand some exhibitors might have been a bit uncomfortable knowing that they were "live" over the net, but I think it was a great thing...to be able to utilize today's technology to share this experience (even though the quality of the audio/video stream wasn't superb) with folks who couldn't make the show in person. I was so glad to have been a part of this effort and I think it should happen at future events.

On a side note (a very happy side note), I was the winner of the CSS MTM kit :D:D:D. It just so happened to be my fav speaker at the show. Jeff B, you are just phenomenal. To have won this kit makes me speechless. I will of course document the build and I have a feeling I have my first real set of reference speakers in hand. So stoked......no joke.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this show happen - you know who you are (Wolf and crew), and big props to all the presenters, vendors, sponsors, attendees.....you all rock!! Extra special thanks goes out to Mark & Joel @ Meniscus. Top-notch dudes for real.

It's pouring rain here like nobody's business....maybe a Chicago tornado in the works?? You tornado-alley folks be safe.

Bryan, you did an awesome job as the A/V guru. Thanks for all of the pics and setting up the streaming audio. It was kinda odd getting questions and requests from people who weren't physically present, but I guess that's the world we live in now. If you have any questions as you are working on that kit just let me know. I hope you will be as pleased with your set as you were with mine yesterday. You will find that they, and every other speaker there, will likely sound even better in your own room than they did in that conference room. These conference rooms always give us a weird midbass bloat. Thanks again for all of the hard work. I could tell you were really working your tail off at times, I hope you got a chance to sit an enjoy things too.

My thanls to Wolf, Rory, Matt, Mark& Joel, and the rest who put everything together. I roll in on the second day and have fun, but they're working hard to pull this thing off. Kudos to job well done.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

Got everything uploaded to photobucket. Why we could not do this in real time thru the hotel's wifi is beyond me....but here goes.

I don't think it will be in chronological order, but here's the link:

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I had to miss some great speakers and the drawings when I had to leave early. I hope Allie knows how much I sacrificed to be at her wedding! Great time and some incredible speakers!

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I made it home safely. Now I need to figure out what to do with the Lab 15 I won.

Some of my favorites were the new CCS MTM. The look and sound are amazing. Also Wolf's Stance was great. I picked up some RS 150's there that I hope might sound half as good.

Thank you everyone who made this possible.

Goodnight.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

These were one of the best sounding tiny speakers I have heard in a long long time. I no more than raise the bar and Wolf runs right on past it. He'll be teaching me pretty soon.

Jeff, your CSS MTMs were just insane, with heavenly midrange and treble. But Wolf's little speakers were great also. I mentioned to Wolf that he could probably win either the Dayton or <200 categories at this year's MWAF with those little guys. They really are that great.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

Wolf's Stance

Kitty litter-filled channels in the sides....the knuckle test is like hitting cement.

These were one of the best sounding tiny speakers I have heard in a long long time. I no more than raise the bar and Wolf runs right on past it. He'll be teaching me pretty soon.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

Many thanks Bryan. I got to check in between staining some cabinets and running some errands. I was listening in with headphones and the audio wasn't bad.
